I ate my first solid food!

From Theodore Elial First Solid Food

'Sup dog? I had this stuff this evening my Mama and Daddy called rice cereal. It kind of tasted like thick Mama's milk, but that's okay. I'll let them think it is solid. :) Just don't tell them our little secret.

There were times where I wasn't so sure about eating food like this? I like my Mama's milk straight from the source!

Other times I smiled and asked for more!

Umm, guys? A little help here??

From Meredith Jane 25-27 Months

I love my sister and all, but this is getting a little out of hand. I mean, take a look at my eye! I think I'll need to teach her how to hold a baby instead of the other way around!

From Meredith Jane 25-27 Months

That's a little better, but I feel like I'm slipping...

Where did he go?

From Meredith Jane 25-27 Months

I dunno?

Where did Daddy go? Oh well, I'll just use Mama as a jungle gym instead. We had plenty of fun doing that!

I'm a big sister and I'm going to teach Theodore how to hold a baby!

From Meredith Jane 25-27 Months

I'm still learning myself, but by the time I'm done I'll be able to teach you, Theodore! I love you and I think you love me too. You giggle all the time when I come give you hugs and kisses. We even hold hands while in the cart at the grocery store.

I think I may have to keep our practice times shorter though. You seem to have a short attention span -- or maybe just a short patience? You seemed to be tired of me holding you after just a few minutes.

From Meredith Jane 25-27 Months

I still love you, though. Many more hugs and kisses to come!

P.S. -- I have a new picture web album setup -- 25-27 Months.

Teeth

From Theodore Elial 4-6 Months

Look Ma, I got myself some teeth! Ok, so the picture is a little weird looking but you get a good shot of my new pearly whites in all their slobbery glory!

Now look how happy I am about that!

From Theodore Elial 4-6 Months

How do they look?

From Meredith Jane 22-24 Months

Mama, Daddy, Theodore, and I went to my Grandma Kat and Patoo's home on Monday. We ate some lunch and I got to play with toys -- including playing dress up. I think I like the earrings. What do you think?

With earrings like this, you have to have a tiara...

From Meredith Jane 22-24 Months

It's pizza, and I helped!

Put on the sauce, cheese, and peperoni...

From Meredith Jane 22-24 Months

Eat some yummy cheese...

EAT!

An Inchworm

I have a new trick! I can scoot forward. I just need to figure out how to do it now without my face dragging on the ground. Mama bets that I will be doing this thing called crawling at about 6 months.

The anatomy of how I move:

Gearing up to move.

Butt up!

Ready to go again

From Theodore Elial 4-6 Months

As you can see from the picture above, I moved forward between the last shot and this shot. Boy, this moving thing is hard work! Good thing I have Mama and Daddy to move me when I get stuck!

HMMM...

From Theodore Elial 4-6 Months

How the heck did I get onto my tummy? This has been happening more and more and faster and faster lately. I just cannot figure out how it is happening.

These pictures are worth thousands of words... at least that is what my Mama says.

Playing with Theo

From Meredith Jane 22-24 Months

My Mama and Daddy get to play with Theo all the time. I only get to play with him sometimes... whenever I just start to have fun, my Mama always recommends I go play with my dolls instead. I wonder why?

Today I got to play with him a lot! I jumped with Daddy and Theo and I got to let Theo crawl on me with my Mama. Can you tell how happy I am? I had other pictures where I really was laughing, but it looked like I was angry, so I didn't post those. I don't want anyone to think I don't like my little brother!

See, I love him lots -- here I am giving him hugs and kisses!

From Meredith Jane 22-24 Months

XOXOXO - I love you Theo!

Pictures while I play

From Meredith Jane 2 Year Portrait

My Mama wanted some action shots of me playing when I am two. I guess the shots from my birthday weren't enough?? Anyway, my Mama and Daddy brought me (and Theo, of course) to this great park. I got to play on the jungle gym, go down the slides, and explore! (and yes, I can hang by myself from the monkey bars!)

Don't forget to check out all of the other pictures here and also don't forget to make fun safe! (Just look at my healing fat lip closely and see how fun can sometimes not be safe...)
